While romaine lettuce would probably not be able to compete with kale on nutritional value, it has however quite a good amount of nutrients. It is infact a complete protein having all 8 amino acids needed in our body! Wow, that's good news!

I do like to include greens in my smoothies. Usually kale or spinach find their way in most them, but it is good to rotate your green smoothies. This way I can get a variety of nutrients from different plant sources, since each type of green has different nutrients.

My previous kale and cranberry smoothie has been my all time favourite green smoothie. But for a change, I tried romaine lettuce today and the mild flavour blends well with anything.
